Great guy great lawyer
Tom helped us navigate the court system and answer foreclosure notices. We were able to avoid foreclosure because we could sell our house, but Tom went to court and wrote documents and all of that. Very helpful and caring as well.

Great Service
Professional, knowledgeable, kind, understanding, patient, flexible hours, believes in me and had my back the whole time. Many blessings!
"I would strongly recommend Tom Cummins to represent any business in complex litigation in state or federal court. Tom explained complex legal concepts in a simple, easy to understand manner that gave us the confidence we needed to make strategic decisions throughout the litigation process. Equally important, Tom genuinely cared about our success and well-being throughout the litigation process. We viewed Tom as our partner in the litigation process, not just "our lawyer". Tom's skill and compassion, coupled with his reasonable and transparent billing practices, made him the best choice to represent our interests in bet-the-company litigation. Finally, results speak for themselves. Tom recovered 100% of the amount in dispute, 100% of our litigation costs (including Tom's fees), and 100% of the interest we claimed on the amount in dispute. Tom delivered a complete victory against an opponent who had significantly greater financial and litigation resources than we did."
